Jungle party by Tina Wilstrup

08/28/2019

Hello everyone, and welcome! Today I'm showing you just how much of a jungle party you can have with the gorgeous summer release products!

First I cut an A2 panel from watercolor cardstock, spritzed it with water and added Nuvo shimmer powder in Green parade. I kept adding more water and powder until I was happy with the look. It's hard to show on a photo but I love the shimmery look these powders give in real life.

I then used the Fun floral sidekick frame die to cut 4 frames. I wanted my top layer light and "floating", so I cut off all the fern leaves with my scissors.

For my top layer I used yupo paper and Ranger alcohol ink in Limeade, Patina and Gold mixative. Again i kept adding color until I liked it. I was going for a dense dark jungle in the back with a lighter front.

You'll notice that I didn't add my sentiment before attaching the frames. The sentiment from Whittle everyday stamp set I stamped fine with my stamping tool, but be aware that the yupo paper does not handle heat very well. I had to heat set the WOW! Gold pearl embossing powder very carefully.

I cut a bunch of the cute Whittles - monkey, koala, lion, tiger and turtle, all part of the summer release! I colored them with my Copics and popped them up with foam squares. Now, I know they don't naturally live together, so let's just pretend they came from near and far to celebrate.

Oh wow!!! How cute and fabulous!!! Love so very much the scene you have created!! It's just delightful with all those wild whittles animals, the dimensional frame and the green inked background!!!!
Pinned!

Hi Tina, I love everything about this card, the background is really lovely, as is the frame, but the real 'beauties' are all the 'Whittles' they are all so, so cute.
I'm amazed that you managed to heat emboss onto Yupo paper, that wouldn't have been easy.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
